The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump said Monday the U.S. would “bomb the s--- out of” Oman if the Gulf state “gets in the way” of U.S. efforts involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, in comments relayed by reporter Trey Yingst. Oman, a U.S. ally and longtime backchannel mediator, has been negotiating with Iran on arrangements to manage or reopen shipping through the Strait. The threat came as a 60-day deadline for a U.S.-Iran agreement expired without a deal. Trump said he was in “no rush” and demanded Tehran surrender.
